Le Sia is a full-service Chinese restaurant located in the bustling Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood that offers a distinctive blend of northern Chinese specialties alongside classic hot pot and barbecue dishes. Walking in, you’ll notice the space balances a casual yet purposefully authentic vibe, making it a comfortable spot for groups or solo diners looking for a genuine Beijing-style meal without leaving Manhattan.

The centerpiece here is undoubtedly their Traditional Beijing Lamb Shabu with Copper Pot, which diners describe as standout for its tender meat and richly flavored broth—capturing the essence of northern China’s hot pot culture. Beyond the hot pot, the menu spreads across a variety of Asian flavors: from spicy crawfish in the signature mala sauce to grilled eggplant and the ever-unique fermented smelly tofu, it’s a menu meant for sharing and exploring diverse tastes.

Le Sia seems particularly popular among people who appreciate authentic regional Chinese dishes such as the wok-fried string beans or the crispy soft-shell crab with Sichuan chili, which hint at confident, well-executed flavor layers without getting lost in gimmicks. The kitchen leans into hearty, textural cooking—a good example being their stir-fried clams and braised lamb that many patrons single out as satisfying and reliably fresh.

The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively, with plenty of seating that accommodates both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. Service is noted for attentiveness—friendly without being intrusive—with staff ready to guide those unfamiliar with some of the less common offerings. Evening visits are where Le Sia’s warmth truly comes through, as the space fills with the murmur of conversation and clatter of shared dishes.

If you’re a local craving authentic Beijing hot pot or a taste of northern Chinese barbecue, this spot suits well for chilly evenings or weekend dinners with friends. It’s less about trendy dining and more about a straightforward, rich culinary experience in a neighborhood known for its variety of international food. Whether you’re a repeat visitor or trying to find genuine regional Chinese cuisine in New York, Le Sia provides a distinctly niche setting and menu worth exploring.

Le Sia has the best copper hot pot I’ve ever had in New York! The sesame sauce tastes incredibly authentic — just like in Beijing. The quality of the meat is excellent, fresh and tender. It truly feels like an authentic northern Chinese hot pot experience. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Beijing-style hot pot!

Review: Amazing dining experience at Le Sia! The Copper Pot Lamb Hotpot is an absolute must-try – the lamb is tender, and the broth is so flavorful. The Spicy Pig Trotters are incredibly soft and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat. The Stir-Fried Clams are packed with fresh, juicy flavors, perfectly seasoned with a hint of spice. Also loved the Braised Lamb, which was tender and rich in taste, and the Grilled Beef Intestines with Green Onions were smoky and delicious. Perfect place for a cozy meal with friends – highly recommend!

The lobster with tofu and fish slices looks very enticing, but was oddly plain. The string beans with eggplant were a tad bit sweet, but nice to go through. The crushed pig feet were filled just the right amount of spice and crushed in front of us. The noodles were my favorite and paired well with all other dishes

I travel frequently between Miami and New York, and every single time I’m in New York even if it’s just for one night like today—I make sure to stop by Le Sia NYC. Tonight’s experience was exceptional. Kevin provided absolutely amazing service, along with a genuinely wonderful conversation that made the evening even more special. His professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail truly stood out. I also want to recognize Peace. Even though he was not my waiter, he went out of his way to be helpful and made sure Qaisi had everything needed to give me the best possible experience. That level of teamwork and care does not go unnoticed. Outstanding service, great atmosphere, and staff who truly care about their guests. I’ll definitely keep coming back.

The Beijing-style traditional hot pot and yakitori hit me so hard !!! They brought me straight back home. The seafood boil is no joke either. Super flavorful, perfectly spicy, and always fresh!!!!! The vibe is super nice and warm, clean, and feels genuinely welcoming every time. And the pricing even lower than spots in Queens, which is wild considering the high quality. This has been my go-to spot for 5 years, and it never misses. Definitely love it!

Absolutely loved our dinner at Le Sia! The highlight was definitely the fresh, juicy crawfish—huge, flavorful, and cooked in a rich, spicy sauce that was impossible to resist. The fresh lamb for the hotpot was incredibly tender and authentic. Also tried the lamb skewers tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Great service and solid prices—highly recommend for anyone craving northern Chinese flavors!

Always enjoy to go there! Even during the hot summer! Well spiced! If you love garlic and ginger you will enjoy this place. The drink price is very reasonable. For weekend, try to get there before 6:30 can save you lots of wait time!
